The OpenID Foundation has launched conformance testing and self-certification for its OpenID4VC protocol family, including the High Assurance Interoperability Profile (HAIP). This framework provides a standardized technical baseline for digital identity providers, particularly those building infrastructure for EUDI Wallets, to verify compliance against specifications.
The shift from pairwise testing to specification-based certification provides a scalable path for digital identity interoperability. For streaming platforms and service providers, this reduces the friction of integrating high-assurance credentials for age verification or regional compliance. By standardizing on HAIP, the industry moves away from fragmented implementations that often fail despite following the same underlying standards. This technical baseline is critical as eIDAS 2.0 moves toward full implementation across EU Member States. Watch for the adoption rates of self-certification among major wallet providers to determine if these protocols become the de facto global standard for secure digital identity exchange.
The OpenID Foundation has launched conformance testing and self-certification for its OpenID4VC protocol family. This framework allows issuers, wallets, and verifiers to verify compliance against formal specifications. This shift from pairwise testing to standardized certification provides a scalable path for interoperability, reducing integration friction for services requiring high-assurance digital credentials.
The testing allows digital identity providers to verify compliance against formal specifications, replacing the need for individual counterparty testing and ensuring better interoperability.
The testing covers the OpenID4VC protocol family, specifically OpenID4VCI for credential issuance and OpenID4VP for credential presentation to verifiers.
HAIP is a profile that narrows technical choices to ensure compatibility in high-security deployments, such as those required for EUDI Wallets.
No, self-certification is currently available free of charge for issuers, wallets, and verifiers across the OpenID4VC protocol family.
